The Campaign For DA

Looks like we've got a big one in Decatur and the "JP has been called." Never a good sign.
Anyone know anything?
Edit: Might have been someone pulling out of McMaster New Holland to go northbound on 287. But that's uncomfirmed.

Per the update.....BREAKING NEWS - MAJOR ACCIDENT - Emergency workers responded to a major accident at noon on U.S. 81/287 near Karl Klement Ford in Decatur. The accident was in the northbound lane. More information will be posted as it is available.

Doctor's Hospital ER leaves WRHS ER in the dust! I would go sit at the Decatur Livestock sale barn and wait on the vet to check me out while doing his once a week checking on all the stock before I would sit in WRHS ER. No comparison.

4:34 you get to spin the wheel again and buy a clue. The reality is that Doctors Hospital is a brand new spanking health care facility with a great deal of state of the art equipment. It aint getting converted to a bowling alley or a shoe store and it won't be closed either. One way or another it will continue to exist, and if not in its current configuration, then re-configured as a for profit facility making moeny for HCA or some other huge concern, instead of being the commuity-based asset it was designed to be.

Of course it won't be a bowling alley; no one said it would. But it won't be the physician-run community hospital, either. It'll either be bought by another non-profit or be run by one of the for-profit outfits who slash staff and cut corners in care. As it is, it can't make a profit, so something's on the horizon. It can't last as is.
